Aaron Rodgers: ‘I still do want to play, and I want to play for the Jets’ via JohnKryk
“I went into the darkness 90% retiring, 10% playing. That’s where my mind was … One day I spent entirely on the reality I was retired, and one day on the reality I was coming back playing. And I studied for hours and hours, what that would look like.
“When I came out, I was really interested in what the landscape was, and where Green Bay was at, and obviously if I wanted to play, what were the options. So it was clear to me at that point that although the Packers were going to say the right thing publicly, that they were ready to move on. I don’t know what changed that, or moved that. Again, there are no victims here. I’m not sitting here as a victim … I just wish that at the beginning of the off-season, that had been the conversation.
“At this point, like I said, it’s my intention to play for the Jets, but I’m still under contract with the Packers.”He also strenuously denied he gave the Jets — during his in-person meeting with club brass now more than a week ago — a list of mandatory players they needed to sign to appease him.
Elliott was due to earn a 2023 salary of $10.9 million. After folding in his 2023-apportioned signing and option bonus hits of $4.1 million, plus a $1.72-million restructure carryover, Elliott stood to have 2023 total cap hit of $16.72 million, per Spotrac.com. But by cutting him with a post-May designation still leaves Dallas with a whopping $11.86-million dead-cap hit.
Perhaps Elliott, as is sometimes buzzed, will choose to remain in Dallas but in a reduced role, and on a much-reduced contract. Otherwise, he’ll re-sign elsewhere for a lot less money than he’s been used to earning.NFL Network reported Wednesday afternoon that veteran safety Jordan Poyer explored other options in the free-agent market, but will return to the Buffalo Bills.
Slay, the former Detroit Lion, even took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to express love for the Eagles franchise, all but confirming he’d become a free agent by afternoon’s end.A month later he was traded to Carolina.He quickly signed with the Los Angeles Rams.
